Might work. But threads are not bound to frames, and I doubt that it
shall be the general solution. What about Emacs in a terminal window,
w/o frames?

I believe we'd rather go into locking the minibuffer / echo area while
reading. Somewhere in the read_minibuf function of minibuf.c. But I
couldn't nail it down until now.
